21kw yesterday in cork from a 7.4 SE SE even split
Over 7 today. Best yet even though it's been a bit hazy and overcast.
Seems to work better with the shading from the trees though.
Less of a dip during shading period.
Just got my solar installation today. Looking forward to joining in here!
Today's haul 0.1kwh! Only up and running after 4pm.
23.4 today 280kwh for the month so far exceeds the whole of December. Hopefully the frost returns !
New Solar system in yesterday and today. 6.02kw system on 4kw inverter. S facing. Near coast, Nth Dublin.
18th - 18.6kw
19th - 15.5kw
Every day in Jan is like this, right?
10.7 kw from a 4.3 kwh S facing system.
Best day since getting the install in late November.
Just had my install a week today. Just missed the good weather last week so today was my best day. 7.4kw from a south east 4kwp system.
9.2kwh today, best day since November. 8.8kwp east/west.
16.8 here. 7.5kwp ground mount.
7.2kWh today!
14.9kwh today in cork from 7.4 system
18.2kwh from a 6kw system. South facing.
0.9kwh from a 7.79kw system. South facing.
3.8kwh from 4kwp system. South east facing.
Grid being weird today with me, has knocked the inverter off line (as expected)
a great day.
23.6kWh from a 7.79kW system. south facing.
Today's yield: 5.8 kWh from 8kW E/W split.
Just into my second month of the system now, December yield was 68 kWh, January has been 137 kW.
The difference in efficiency for south facing panels vs E/W split is massive this time of year, I'm intrigued to see how it fares out into spring and summer. ( I knew this would be the case anyway, but its good to have hard data to compare)
Panels beginning to come out of winter hibernation. 15.2kWh today from a 4.8kWp system in Fingal.
Did you give ESBN a shout? That's a good bit out of spec.
you'll probably do 50kwh a sunny day in may/june/july with that amount of panels with east west
Nah, it fixed itself about half 6... Maybe they wanted all the inverters offline
I got 11kw today from a similar setup, slightly more west facing than east (165 azimuth), but at a 45 deg pitch.
Max I got was 50kwh on a day in May last year, 6150kwh for the year.
18.7kwh from 6kW system. South facing. Only in 2 weeks. Today was the best day. 3rd time I've hit 18kwh in the 14 days. Delighted with system.
Wow some amazing figures there. Just got 6.7kwh from a south east 4kwp system. Only in just over a week
9.1 kwh today on a 6kw e/w split, best day since October 27
Pretty good guess mick. I have 6.5Kwp and my record is 41Kwh. Exactly E/W. So extrapolating out to 8.0kwp, that would yield 50.4Kwh (assuming all things equal etc) My average daily yield for my 6.5Kwp in May, June and July last year was 25.8Kwh, 27.2Kwh and 22.1Kwh respectively,
For those people interested, I ran the numbers and my south panels on the shed are 70% more efficient in December than the equivalent kwp on the E/W split. The east/west splits really don't fare well in Nov, Dec & Jan. But once we're into Feb they start to pick up quickly.
Still a nice solid 6.4Kwhr off the 6.5Kwp E/W today here in South Dublin city. My app estimate was for 5.6Kwh, but it's the best of the year so far. Looks like tomorrow is ok'ish, and then another decent enough one forecasted for Thurs.
25.1Kwh yesterday 8.3kw array south facing
I also have 8kW split evenly over East/West. This time of the year is very poor for me, they are at a low angle too.
It does get much better. December was my worst month last year with only 92kWh but did 1,083kWh in May.
Just over 53kWh was my best day last year.
Just out of interest. I have a new set up. 4kwp system. South east facing in south Dublin city. What should I expect roughly in summer months?
Have a look in the monthly output thread for folks with similar system and location. They will be loads of posts in the next few days.
PVGIS is also good for estimates
